About the piece

Painted around 1879, this work by Paul Cézanne captures the quiet geometry of a French village square. The composition is defined by the rhythmic verticality of pollarded trees in the foreground, which lead the eye toward the architectural cluster of houses and the dominant spire of a gothic church. It represents Cézanne's transition into his mature style, where form and color begin to take on a more structural role.
